floating point numbers are about as precise as you can get

Simply switching to a finer grained integer coordinate system would have done the trick more easily since most of the code could have been kept as-is, but Loftar ignored that suggestion for some reason he didn't disclose.

I think we can assume the loftar is not idiot and that it is not doing this trick or is not easier. Or maybe this one becomes less future proof or similar.

how hyped are you guys about the upcoming combat patch on a scale of 0-10

it being not as precise is a problem with how its done on computers not a problem with floating points which is simply a number with no fixed amount of digits before or after the decimal so it can represent any degree of precision

I think you're getting some things confused here. "Floating point" doesn't really exist as a term outside of digital computer processing. Otherwise, I think you've got the right idea. Floats were never really intended to be precise, just "accurate enough." For computational accuracy, there are several methods of achieving it, they are just all significantly slower than running the floating point unit (even in factors of powers of ten slower).

You volunteering to mop up the tears and wring them into jorb's cup?

The reasons and purposes for habits are always lies that are added only after some people begin to attack these habits and to ask for reasons and purposes. At this point the conservatives of all ages are thoroughly dishonest: they add lies.

hope you don't mind me reposting this here, but seems kinda fitting so why the heck not
